Nobel Learning Communities Sells Six Schools

        Net Proceeds of $2 Million will Strengthen Financial Position and
                Advance Strategy to Focus on Private Pay Segment

      WEST CHESTER, Pa., May 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nobel Learning
Communities, Inc. (Nasdaq: NLCI), a leading operator of private preschools,
elementary schools and middle schools, today announced it has sold six of its
schools to another preschool provider as part of its strategy to dispose of
non-strategic properties. The assets included in the transaction encompassed the
business and operating assets of the schools, including the real estate of one
of the schools. The net proceeds of sale were approximately $2 million,
including costs of the transaction. The sale will generate an after-tax gain of
approximately $600,000, or $.05 to $.06 per share, which will be recognized
during the Company's fiscal fourth quarter ending June 30, 2007. Proceeds from
the sale continue to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. With these proceeds
outstanding debt under its newly expanded credit facility has been eliminated.

      George Bernstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nobel Learning
Communities, said, "This is an important strategic transaction for the Company.
It essentially disposes of all of the remaining schools that were classified as
assets held for sale and aligns our entire portfolio to our target customer. In
order to assure that the children and the communities served by these schools
continue to receive the same high-quality education Nobel provides, the Company
intends to coordinate an orderly transition with the buyer."

      All six schools have previously been classified as "Assets held for sale"
on the Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 2007, with this sale the Company
has eliminated this category of assets completely. In addition the operating
results of the aggregate schools have been previously included in "Income (loss)
from discontinued operations" in the Company's consolidated statement of income.
